Officer Thomas E. Allen is charged with four counts of secretly using a photographic imaging device to view another's body or undergarments and four counts of possessing photographic images in violation of the peeping statute.

Police said the charges stemmed from an investigation which began last October. Authorities found that Allen took four pictures of juvenile girls during CMPD High School Academy events in 2011 and 2013.

Police spokesman Robert Tufano said Allen took photos through the victims' clothing during physical training. Tufano didn't say what kind of device was used.
